Twenty-nine dermatologists with a history of treating patients with generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) took part in a survey examining GPP diagnostic criteria, the natural history of GPP, and current GPP treatment options and their perceived adequacy.

Overall, dermatologists agreed on a number of criteria for the diagnosis of GPP, and indicated that current treatments were too slow to control flares and did not adequately prevent new GPP flares.

These results may help to inform a consensus guideline for GPP diagnosis and management.
